Having the cake and eating it too

How on earth can you negotiate a common security perimeter and at the same time slap an inspection fee on Canadian visitors? It makes no sense. The latest White House proposal for the next US budget, among other things, includes the aforementioned idiocy.

This kind of move is either stupid, or an acknowledgment that the common perimeter negotiations have failed. If this is what the Liberals wanted, congrats. Shafting Canadians in the name of petty politics is quite the policy for a decent government!

How do you possibly try to put any fault on the Liberals for this? Of course the Liberals don't want Canadian citizens to get slapped with an inspection fee.

Perhaps this is the very thing Harper should have brought up during the perimeter talks.

You should give your head a shake.
